It wasn't exactly what she'd had in mind when she decided to become
an innkeeper, but Kelly Redvers can't resist the charm of the old
inn on the cliffs above the ocean. She leaves her high-powered career
behind and begins a new life in Half Moon Bay, where she finds herself
doted-on by the older couple who runs the place, courted by one
of the inn's handsome and wealthy regulars, and teased unmercifully
by the exasperating (yet decidedly sexy) guy who takes care of the
inn's building projects. Kelly soon learns the old Queen Anne house
and cottages conceal secrets of a sinister past, and when she sets
out to uncover its mysteries, she finds herself in a battle of wits
with an unseen enemy.

At the end of Winding Hill Road, surrounded by woods of oak
and wild rose and isolated behind an imposing stone wall, is the
estate of the mysterious Gatien Defalle. It's also the new home
of Sarah Logan, who has accepted a position as companion to Gatien's
young daughter May. Oddly wise beyond her years, Sarah's puzzling
charge is far from being a child. Puzzling, too, is Gatien himself,
so silent about his wife's strange death, and the whispers and suggestions
that it was something far more sinister than suicide.

Fascinated by the dangerously attractive and enigmatic Gatien, Sarah
finds herself risking more than her heart. For the closer she gets
to this man, the closer she gets to the threatening Defalle family
secrets waiting to claim their next victim

It was a white elephant of a house - a turn-of-the-century rambling
manor in the shadows of the Sierras, full of intriguing nooks and
crannies, rich with architectural details and delights. Architect
Stacy Addison knew that she had come home the moment she saw it. And
even though it needed months of renovations, nothing would stop Stacy
from buying this beautiful house on the edge of a fairy tale-like
forest.

"On the Edge of the Woods marks the memorable fiction debut
of an author in striking command of all the gripping essentials. Tyrrel
offers up likable, compelling characters; vivid settings; a host of
stormy and steamy relationships; and a chilling mysterious thread
that keeps the reader turning pages until the shocking twist ending."
